Re: Hi All, I recently upgraded my Aspire R7-572-6805 (SSD, RAM, wireless). Can I upgrade CPU too?

i am not sure about 4650u or any other higher model of processor. one thing i know that, there is a version of R7-572 that has i7-4500u in it. google it up

ACER-CORY, escalate this issue please. ACER R7-572G

i was very, very sure that i hibernated my R7-572g properly. as soon as i hibernated it, i left it unplugged in the morning at 100% and in the evening, i came back and found that the battery almost depleted! it was at 5% when i plugged in to charge and turned it on. if i didnt plug it, it wont even turn on because the 5% is the critical level already (however, there is blue led blinking, perhaps telling that battery has ran out).

there were also previous post mentioning about the battery drain back then in april, but till date, nothing has been done

check the 2nd post of the link i posted

i hope acer-cory can escalate this issue to the higher levels to get this reproduced and fixed.

im not sure with the flickers. but usually, flickers will occur WHILE UPDATING the driver. not after that.

the dimness could be due to power settings being messed up? check back power options. when on battery and when plugged in, during high performance mode, balanced mode, power saver mode.

dont worry. windows 8 isnt that bad.

just do some modifications here and there. voila, it will look just like windows 7, only with the extra "metro ui".

not that bad actually. thanks to you too. i got some new experience. :-)

never once in my 9 years experience in computer maintenance, bios is the one causes fresh-installed windows to not to be able to boot up. congrats acer for being the first one.

hmm, how about uefi? after some reading in a thread, it seems like bios is the one messing around.

check out this link; http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/Windows-7-UEFI-install-on-Aspire-E1-571/td-p/50201

or maybe this, simple and might be much more useful, http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/Installing-Windows-7-on-acer-aspire-E1-571G/td-p/93099

some posts in there might be helpful (as i scan through some of them, some says win7 install on gpt with uefi enabled)

if still not booting. try to go into bios and check with sata thingy. disabled? enabled? ahci? anything related. play around with that setting. it is all about test-and-error.

weird, fresh installation should solve problems. hmm. i think something is wrong with the boot data or something. i suggest you to remove the other partition. making it only 1 partition. then make installation in the single partitioned hard disk. then see what happen. :hmm:

and do not forget to change to boot sequence to internal hard disk drive in BIOS. not flash drive or dvd.

apart from that. try to remove the flashdrive/dvd of the installer after the installation finished. who knows, it might be messing up with boot sequence or something

regarding intel's driver. you downloaded the zip version? extract it and try to read the installation readme. i think it might help. there are many methods in there. but, i think this one might help you.

------------------------------------------------------------------
   Microsoft Windows* "Have Disk" Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Click "Start", right-click "Computer", and click "Properties".

2. Click "Device Manager" on the left.

3. In the "User Account Control" window, click "Yes".

    IF UPDATING DRIVER GO TO STEP 5

4. Double-click "Video Controller (VGA Compatible)" if present under
    "Other Devices". (Go to step 6).

5. Expand "Display adapters" and double-click the graphics controller.

6. In the "Driver" tab, click "Update Driver".

7. Click "Browse my computer for driver software".

8. Click "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".

9. Click "Have Disk..." and click "Browse".

10. Browse to the directory where you unzipped the file you
    downloaded, click the "Graphics" folder, and select the
    "igdlh64.INF" file. Click "Open".

11. Click "OK" and click "Next". The operating system will install
    the driver.

12. Click "Close" and click "Yes" to reboot. The driver should now
    be loaded.

PS: i also posted this in the other thread i lead you to.

if you guys check acer's website for the drivers, 2.04 is released and the description seems to state something like fixing the bios problem.
